18 Reasons Why Axl Rose Is The Biggest Douchebag In Rock

[abaraxas]

c'mon lads Axl is the only true rockstar alive and he was, is and always will be the soul of GNR no matter who is besides him

Well the soul of GNR is into hanging out at fashion shows eating cheese and wearing scarves, and he has hired a transexual Slash impersonator to be in his cover band   

Dont make out he is "the only true rockstar alive", Axl has turned the legend that was GNR into a fucking joke.
Cockstar more like it

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Axl kick out the fan (number 9) because that person was fighting or causing trouble or something like that?

Since when are you a douchebag for not liking poodles and seaweed, having cornrows or dreads, having an argument with Tommy Hilfiger (in which Axl didn't actually do something wrong according to witnesses), calling Weiland a fraud, calling a horrible band for what they are (pidgeons of shit metal) and having a terrible dress sense.

If you are going to make a list on why Axl is a douchebag, at least make a list with reasons that make sense.
I gues the only real reason he made the list is for number 1 and just put reason 2-18 on it to have some sort of a countdown?

10 He hates poodles

I think you will find the definition of a "poodle" is an old GNR fan who has nothing better to do than slag New GNR Fans

According to the Nme

Writer does not know what he is talking about:

17.  Tommy Hilfiger Gate:

This is what happened according to Axl Rose six years ago:

"I moved his girlfriend's drink so it wouldn't spill," Rose told the Los Angeles radio station KROQ on Friday. "It was the most surreal thing, I think, that's ever happened to me in my life."
 
According to the 44-year-old singer, Hilfiger, 55, smacked him in the arm and told him to put the drink back.
 
"He just kept smacking me," Rose said.

9. Velvet Revolver Gate:

This is what happened according to wikipedia and it was Slash that made those comments:

Slash's former friendship with Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has soured since his departure from the band. In 2006, Rose claimed that Slash had shown up at his house uninvited the previous year to offer a truce. He alleged that Slash had insulted his Velvet Revolver band mates, telling Rose that he considered Scott Weiland "a fraud" and Duff McKagan "spineless," and that he "hated" Matt Sorum.  Slash initially denied the accusations, but in his 2007 autobiography he admitted to visiting Rose's home with the intention to settle a longstanding legal dispute and make peace with his former band mate. He claims, however, that he did not speak with Rose and instead merely left a note. Slash maintains that he has not spoken with Rose in person since 1996.

5. White Dreads, 4. Terrible Dress Sense. 2 Cornrows

Axl gets more women than you!



1. Guns N Roses

Yea, he did not show up.  He has his reasons and he stood up for what he believed in.

"16 He's not a one-woman man"

If that makes him "the biggest douchebag" in rock, for sure he isn´t alone in that stand.

That's a fair point Emilia I agree. Most people are not 'a one-woman man' or 'a one man woman'. Whatever they claim 

[Faxl]

James Hetfield told Rolling Stone: "(Guns N Roses) are a different type of band - and I use the word 'band' loosely. It's a guy and some other guys." Fair enough. This is a factually accurate description of Gn'R since 1993.

Tommy Hilfiger is a man's man, if ever there was one

That's your opinion...

[Iconic Shawn]

I think everything he said sounded pretty true.

I don't know if I'm pissed enough to call him a "cockstar",  , per say, but as far as the "legend" of GnR goes, thats all it is now, a legend.

But you know what? I think this choice of his gave him what he wanted. I don't think anyone thinks there will be a reunion anymore for any reason.

You win Axl! Its ALL yours buddy!

What a toilet article.

The Axl bashing never ends. Everyone has an opinion of Axl. Yeah, he's made mistakes. Name one person who hasn't or who doesn't make mistakes. He's human and that means he has flaws.

I think Axl is trying his best for his fans. He and GNR have toured the world and yes this time included the US. I for one was very happy Axl and GNR came to Texas. They put on an amazing 3 hour show and Axl and company came out and thanked us for sticking with them and apologized for taking so long to tour the US and Dallas.

I honestly don't know what people expect Axl to do? yeah, some shit  he does sucks and many think is stupid and egotistically, but does it really affect your personal lives? I really doubt it.

I didn't wait day after day for GNR to release CD nor did I wait to see GNR tour the US. When it happened, I bought the cd and went to see the concert. Did I miss listening to GNR, no, I have my cds. I did miss seeing them on tour, but I went on with my life.

Everyone needs to realize that everyone has shit and everyone makes mistakes, so no one is PERFECT.

As for Axl fucking up the GNR name, after seeing them live last year, I'd have to disagree with that remark.

Besides everything Axl does or doesn't do isn't always connected to GNR. He has a personal life and if some people don't like how he lives his life, well that's too bad. Like I said, it shouldn't affect your personal lives to the point of making you condemn the man for anything he does that you don't like.

I agree with Axl some people need to move on and just be satisfied that Axl and GNR are still around and touring and hopefully will make more new music, but the music they continue to perform is still fuckin amazing.
